Tomorrow

While reading I stumbled upon a poem that really tugged at my heartstrings. Many times we tend to push things aside until the next day, and when the next day comes, the same thing occurs. Life happens which makes it difficult to achieve everything like we said we would. Sometimes when this happens we unknowingly push aside the very things we love---our family, friends, dreams. Life is short and everyday really does count. And so as W.M. Lewis stated,"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but we wait so long to begin it." One day I want to look back at my life and see all of the things I did do, the things I brought to life, not just ideas and and dreams scribbled in a notebook. So go out there and do what it is you love today, so that tomorrow you can look back and see all of the great things you achieved. Happy Friday!


Tomorrow

He was going to be all that a mortal should be
Tomorrow.

No one should be kinder or braver than he
Tomorrow.

A friend who was troubled and weary he knew,
Who'd be glad of a lift and who needed it, too;
On him he would call and see what he could do
Tomorrow.

Each morning he stacked up the letters he'd write
Tomorrow.

And thought of the folks he would fill with delight
Tomorrow.

It was too bad, indeed, he was busy today,
And hadn't a minute to stop on his way;
More time he would have to give others, he'd say
 Tomorrow.

The greatest of workers this man would have been
Tomorrow.

The world would have known him, had he ever seen
Tomorrow.

But the fact is he died and he faded from view,
And all that he left here when living was through
Was a mountain of things he intended to do
    Tomorrow. 

-Edgar Albert Guest
